Medical Diagnostic Radiographer in Victoria — nomination overview
Medical Diagnostic Radiographer (ANZSCO 251211) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Victoria under the Live in Melbourne or Regional Victoria Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Victoria opens invitations for this occupation. Victoria's extensive public and private hospital network and network of radiology clinics generate consistent demand for qualified diagnostic radiographers. Professional registration is administered by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) through AHPRA. Overseas applicants must have qualifications assessed and meet AHPRA English language requirements before obtaining general registration to practise. General registration with AHPRA is required before commencing clinical employment. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in Victoria typically takes four to ten weeks. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
